Oracle Problems (2004-05-10 13:32:37)

• When an Oracle Form will not run, and claims it can not save a file. Try Restarting the OC4J instance.
• If you get "FRM-90928:Position parameter after keyword in the commandline" in oracle, remove spaces from filepaths. Add a default program to open a file

Default program to files with no extention (2004-05-01 00:14:41)

Problem: Wanted to add a default program to open a file that had no extention
Solution: Adding a program link the the right mouse click menu was also enough. To do this, I altered the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/SHELL). Full instructions can be found at thestarman3. Dialup connection box returns an Error 633

Error 633: The modem or other device is already in use or is not configured properly (2004-05-01 00:12:45)

Problem: I set up my dial up modem to try to connect to the internet, but everytime I tell it to connect, I get Error 633: The modem or other device is already in use or is not configured properly. I've tried a lot of different things, but I have yet to figure out the solution.

I've tried 2 different modems, but both get the same error. Everytime it tries to open the port, it just can't and immediately gives me the error. I've tried a few programs to try to figure out what the problem is, and all have said that the COM port, #3, is fine so I don't think it is that. I also used hyperterminal and inside that program, I was able to connect to my ISP w/o any problems, though I'm not sure exactly what that proves.

Solution: After uninstalling a personal firewall product (such as McAfee Personal Firewall) my network settings were destroyed. Try fixing it with WinsockXPFix.exe.

Also I disabled a hardware device called a WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)

All FTP clients could not see .htaccess file and could not remove it (2004-05-01 00:09:19)

Problem: After I had added .htaccess files to my site, I found that my FTP clients could not see them to delete them
Solution: I used the windows command prompt FTP program to delete them. Computer suddenly stopped booting windows

Windows would not start (2004-05-01 00:08:14)

Problem: I had done nothing different when shutting the comptuer down last, but when I tried to boot the computer, I would not run windows. When I went into safe mode, the windows start up stopped on amdagp.sys.
Solution: I pressed F11 (may differ for other computers) to get into the Bios settings when the computer first starts. I then set the settings 'Back to the default'. This fixed the problem. Dialup connection box appears when connection times out or a 404 happens

Dialup connection box appeared on webpage timed out (2004-05-01 00:05:16)

Problem: I was connecting to the internet through a windows computer as an internet gateway. When a webpage timed out, a dialup connection box appeared.
Solution: Change setting in Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections to 'Never dial a connection' Basic HTTP Authentication with .htaccess in Apache

Basic http authentication will not work in apache (2004-04-30 23:57:43)

Problem: I had an htaccess file set up to use basic http authentication. I knew that the htaccess file was working and was being read (with the httpd.conf AllowOverride All command in use). The login prompt appeared like expected on the first visit to the page. It also only let through the correct user logins. The problem arose when all browser windows were closed and then the page is re-opened. On the second visit to the page the user was allowed straight in and is not asked to login.

Solution: It was the fact that I started this project using Windows and converted to Linux halfway through. The httpd.cong file was in dos mode and need to converted to Unix format. Once I did this, it all started to work.
